She's a beauty!

Painted this up today. 1/10th scale PL Ford Raptor. Its painted after a similar design I did, though this time around its in green. The pictures really don't do the green much justice. Its a deep green with plenty of layers in it. Some custom mixed some straight out of the bottle. Black shadowed skulls added for even more depth. Next layer is CF with a pin of chrome. Up front are straight black, classic flames pinned with lime green. Everything is hand cut and airbrushed.

Hey nice job. Started doing some airbrushing myself, three bodies so far so I can respect what you have done here on this one!
I am a photographer and I see that you have a color White Balance issue that is showing magenta which steals from your greens you are trying to get across. I did a quick edit for you to hopefully extract some more color and detail of your work, I hope you appreciated and don't mind me doing this for your paint job

And yes a beauty she is! Nice one!

Apparently I need to get some better software... I am just using a Mac with iPhoto. What you did, is that something I can do with that? Thank you!

I am guessing your camera wasn't set to 'Auto' white balance, that is more likely the problem.

In iPhoto open the image, to the right top select 'Edit' use the Temperature and Tint controls Or if you have a good 'neutral' (gray) spot or an area of white use that little eye-dropper tool and click the spot and watch it change.
Using flash along with the ambient light can help greatly too!

If incandescent then you would use screw in bulbs not fluorescent. If set to 'Auto' the camera automatically should be doing its best to compensate for the yellow that screw ins give off or the greens that florescent give off. Flash is balanced for Daylight which will appear more white or at times slightly bluish.
The flash can add fill which can still help if you care to try it
